STANZA


Definiton: A group of lines that are arranged in a paragraph form in poetry.

Example:
I Love To Write Poems
(First Stanza)
I love to write
Day and night
What would my heart do
But cry, sigh and be blue
If I could not write
(Second Stanza)
Writing feels good
And I know it should
Who could have knew
That what I do
Is write, write, write
- Unknown Author 

A stanza is signifcant to the poem's structure because it divides the ideas of the writer into organized parts/sections.
